Our mission is to provide a safe, innovative and supervised environment which enhances personal growth and the character of Grinnell Youth.
Donations
In recent years, the Grinnell community has turned its attention to issues of children, youth and families, and has begun to focus on the quality of life we provide for our young people.  In looking at the Iowa Youth Survey, 2005, we realize the importance of a supervised area for youth to "hang out" in.  Locally, The Galaxy represents a safe and positive substance-free alternative; it represents choice.

A few of The Galaxy's accomplishments during the past year include: Securing and implementing the Drug Free Communities Federal Grant, refurbishing the inside of The Galaxy space and operation of the only 5th through 8th grade after-school programming.  The Galaxy has seen an increase in the number of youth utilizing our services and continues to be a diverse, fun and safe place for youth.

The Galaxy is an ever-expanding project made possible by the generosity and hard work of people in every age group throughout our community.  Our current objective is to secure donations.  Our projected 2009 Budget is $117,000, of which we are seeking to raise $50,000.  We welcome contributions of any amount and sincerely appreciate your support.

The Galaxy is a nonprofit organization, 501(c)(3), and all donations are 100% tax deductible.  We realize that you receive many requests for donations to many noble causes during the year; we just ask that you consider the youth in our community one of these causes.  Thank you for your consideration and continued support!
